Hormonal function and proliferative activity of thymic cells in humans: immunocytochemical correlations.

OBJECTIVES: The immunocytochemical study of the localization of hormones in thymic cells has been performed to clarify possible correlations of their expression with proliferative activity of thymocytes.

METHODS: We used commercial antibodies to serotonin, melatonin, somatostatin, glucagon, gastrin, beta-endorphi.....
